Ezra's 6 month 1/2 birthday

I can't believe ezra will turn 6 months on the 5th of february! It still feels like he was just born yesterday  and I'm just having so much fun getting to know him and his little quirks and seeing him grow and change!

We will have his 6 month check up right after we get home so I'll put his updated statuses up then

He loves....
- eating frozen fruit out of his mesh feeder it literally keeps him busy for half an hour
- rolling all over the place...I will turn around for 5 min to get stuff done and he will be under a chair or a corner somewhere on the opposite side of the room I left him at
- sweet potatoe and fennel puree they are his favourite and he makes little happy noises while he is eating them just like his me when I get a treat:)
- bath time...he refuses to lay down in the bathtub now and wants to sit up and splash around
-being naked and baby massages...this is something we have started while we were here. When I change him into his pj's I massage him with some coconut oil which helps with his dry skin (he got that from my side of the family..sorry dude) and helps him sleep better and longer (yay!) Then I let him roll around in just his diaper for a while and he loves it and is such a happy baby and really who can resist such a cute adorable chunky baby??
- playing rough- having a little boy is so much fun!
- watching tv upside down- we don't watch a lot of tv these days but he is such a crack up when he just lays on my lap watching what's going on upside down with a huge grin on his face.
- listening to classical music while falling asleep it's the only way I get him to fall asleep without a huge fit and lots of tears...it would have been nice to figure that one out 5 months ago.
-co-sleeping he always gives me the biggest smiles when he wakes up and realizes I'm right there next to him

He hates...
-carrots which is the first food ever he has been picky about but we will keep in trying
- changing into clothes...like I said he loves being naked therefore this one isn't a winner
- getting into the car seat. Once he is in it and has a toy he is normally fine but the getting into part is hard.

And that's pretty much it he is such a good happy baby and makes every day worth it! I never thought such a little guy could make my life feel so complete and I feel so blessed that I get to stay home with him and see him grow and reach those milestones. I'll keep you updated; )

Working momma over here!

Hey there. I have started work at the gallery I interviewed for and it is actually a lot of fun. I only work every other evening from 4-6 right now and every other saturday till summer will start and I will work longer hours. It is a lot of fun getting to know my co-workers, talking to costumers and learning the ropes of working in a retail store. Ezra cried pretty hard the first time I left him with his new babysitter. It made me sad since I had fun going to work and getting some me time. Last Monday I left him with my friend kristen who has a 10 month and 4 year old and he was happy there. I'm sure it just takes him some time to get adjusted and I know it is so good for him to play with those other kiddos. Yesterday was a super fun family day for us. Tj was off work so we went to the pool for the first time with Ezra and he had an absolute blast. Pool trips are definitely on our monthly activity list now. We had the missionaries from our church over for lunch and at 4 I had to l

Flying with little kids 2.0...

Image
When you think of flying ALONE (!!!) with two kids under the age of 5 and not only for a quick trip to a few states over but to let's say...Switzerland halfway across the world do you get sweaty palms, maybe a little bit heavier breathing and just feel a little claustrophobic all around? I know I do!! This december I'll be flying for the second time this year to Switzerland with an 18 month old and 4 year old all by myself. (We visited there in february/ march this year for 7 weeks). Last time we flew I only flew the way there by myself, so I had the reassurance that if that trip was a disaster, my dad would at least be there with me on the way home to help out. This time it will be just me and the kids both ways. Both trips there and back ended up going fairly well last time, although I had to drag both kids and all our carry on luggage clear across one of Europe's biggest and busiest Airports (Frankfurt) without a stroller since they checked it clear to Switzerland an

Cherish the now

Today I had my usual wake up. At least somewhat usual I woke up to ezra snuggling next to me nudging to get out of bed and getting our day started. I stumbled over the toys that were scattered all over the living room floor as I was caring ezra to his room to get him changed. My feet were sticking a little bit to my way too dirty kitchen floor as I sat ezra on his just as dirty highchair looking for a knife in between all the dirty dishes to get him some breakfast ready. Bottom line is my whole family including me make a mess faster than I can clean it up and that is exhausting and frustrating sometime. But than a thought passed through my mind that made me so sad that I cheered up immediately. One day I will wake up to a laundry basket that is only half full instead of overflowing since it is only me and Tj. One day I won't have tiny sticky fingerprints to wipe of my cabinets or at least not as much on a regular basis as now. One day I won't have a hungry baby wake me up anymo
